I guess the moral of the story is... In today's world, what used to seem like a lot of money really, isn't.
I can't agree with you more. If you think about it, even a million dollars wouldn't be worth much in the real world. After paying for rent, for gas, for food, the bills etc...well...*shrug* I think any money I'd get would go to making my life a little less stressful when it's bill paying time. Then...loads of comic books, games, and treating a few friends to dinner.
